Cub Scouts from Lake Carmel Pack 1 gathered at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Carmel on Earth Day (April 22) to plant trees as part of a conservation project to mark the Pack’s 50th anniversary. The Scouts practice the policy of Leave No Trace, which teaches scouts to leave only footprints behind and to preserve and protect nature. Lake Carmel Pack 1 is part of the Westchester-Putnam Council of the Boy Scouts of America and sponsored by the Lake Carmel Fire Department. Go to www.lakecarmelpack1.org for more information.
